Baked Acorn Squash with Apple This baked squash goes perfectly with nearly any main course during the holidays--turkey, ham, or a roast. It is simple to prepare, and even the folks who don't usually eat squash are likely to enjoy this sumptuous baked vegetable. Serves 4. 2 acorn squash, halved and cleaned of seeds 1 baking apple, peeled and chopped into very small pieces 2 tablespoons of salted butter 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of nutmeg Preheat the over to 375 degrees. In each acorn half, place 1/2 tablespoon of butter and equal portions of the chopped apple. Sprinkle each half with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Wrap each half individually in aluminum foil, leaving a very small opening at the top (or poke a few fork-holes into the foil). Place them all into a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet, and bake for 45-60 minutes--until the squash is very soft when a fork is inserted. Turn off the oven and leave wrapped in foil until ready to serve. Nutritional information (per serving) 239 calories |
